During the Democratic primaries the Beacon Journal described Barack Obama as a "flawed candidate" and endorsed the eventual runner-up, Hillary Clinton. It's interesting to note that uber-Republican and unindicted co-conspirator, Karl Rove, no fence sitter, has also described Obama as "a deeply flawed candidate."

This morning, the Beacon, in what I would call a schitzophrenic editorial arguing with itself, and fully aware that the latest Gallup poll has Obama up by 8 percentage points, still insists that Obama is not the man to lead the nation in 2009.

First....Governor Sarah Palin is most probably a very nice person who loves America. She has a great family and, from all indications, she's been well received as governor of Alaska. So...this post is not about Sarah Palin, per se.

Barack Obama passionately claimed last night that America was a "better country" than what we've seen under 8 years of Bush/Cheney. Better than the one whose executive branch leadership sat "on its hands while a major American city drown(ed) before our eyes."

"We are here because we love this country too much to let the next four years look just like the last eight."

Main media whores notwithstanding, the speeches last night by Bill Clinton and John Kerry were truthful and powerful.

Clinton, much to those who earn their livings from a kneeling position's chagrin, smoked his speech last night....and The Reverend inhaled and declared it all good. This was the Clinton politician we remember from the 90's. He made it clear that he, his wife, and his daughter will do everything they can to make sure that Barack Obama is elected president. The ex-president urged all 18 million of Hillary's supporters to do likewise. He insisted that Obama was ready to lead and mocked the ignorant barking by corporate media whores and their customers, Republican powerbrokers, pointing out that the very same criticisms thrown out like so much vulgar bile at Obama were thrown out at him in 1991. One of Bill's strongest lines placed his and Barack Obama's respective campaigns for the presidency..."on the right side of history".

A couple of months ago, immediately following Barack Obama's primary win, I predicted that the KPM (Knee Pad Media) would spend as much time, if not more so, leading up to the conventions, talking about Hillary and Bill Clinton as they would Barack Obama. My prediction was relatively accurate and remains so on the first day of the Democratic Convention.

Think how much time has been spent, from the traditional kneeling position, bloviating and bullsh*tting about Hillary's chances of becoming Obama's VP pick. Still today, the totally asinine whining goes on. Why, how dare Obama! He didn't even vet Hillary to be his VP....my goodness, get out the smelling salts and the fainting couches. Once again....there's nothing to the alleged story. Hillary told Obama if he wasn't going to consider her in the top tier of VP candidates...she would just as soon not go through the vetting process. No story here at all.....yet the lamebrained, pushers of propaganda.....those who are in the, you know, know,....will push that phony story all week long.

I have no idea who Barack Obama will pick as his vice-presidential running mate....but I think today may be the day he announces his pick. Knee Padders of every network and cable teevee channel think they know who is on the "short list" for Obama's V.P., and they have been telling us about that short list, nauseatingly, for weeks. I hope Obama chooses someone else.....just to demonstrate how full of sh*t the media morons are.

Speaking of waste and morons.....I caught quite a bit of Suzanne Malveaux's CNN hitjob on Obama last night....ominously titled, "Obama Revealed". The 1980's sleazy porn music which played in the background of CNN's hitjob on the Democratic candidate for president....was extra special.

Setting aside for now the far right Supreme judges a president John McCain would pick.....the Arizona senator's most disturbing quality is his neo-conservatism. The phony ambivalence we've seen and heard when McCain addresses the issue of George W. Bush should be a red flag to voters. Without doubt, the evidence demonstrates that McCain supported virtually everything George W. Bush placed on the table. Nowhere is this as transparently clear as it is with the Decider's war of choice. John McCain has always been in favor of attacking Iraq.....as well as other middle eastern countries....

One year ago this month I was given the privilege of writing this blog. The Blog of Mass Destruction was, and still is, intended to expose the threats to America coming from three distinctly dangerous sources.

John McCain...."In the 21st century, nations don’t invade other nations."

We're only 8 years into the 21st century. Not that much history to remember, even for a 72 year old cancer victim like McCain. A little over 5 years ago, John McCain and a host of other neo-cons, joined by the uninformed and the duped.....voted to invade another nation.

It is a fact of American election life that voter fraud has never been a threatening problem to the election process. I challenge any conservative naysayers to produce evidence otherwise. Just like WMD in Iraq were a non-existent threat to America....so too voter fraud.

However, Republicans never take facts for an answer. And just like I've been predicting....GOP'ers are running around in swing states shouting "voter fraud". By shouting about something that doesn't exist, like WMD in Iraq, Republicans, then, can feel justified in going forward with their shock and awe voter rolls reduction campaign. Eliminating newly registered Democratic voters in the process. Obama has attracted many new voters to the process....and Republicans must do their unlevel best to eliminate as many of those new voters as possible.....from voting for Obama.

Other than an occasional policy difference being discussed by the two presidential candidates, this summer's general campaign has been nothing if it hasn't been substance free. Substance free, just as the GOP and the Villager Media want it. Majoring in trivialities in order to avoid discussing the serious failures of the last 8 years of a rogue Republican regime, Knee Padders everywhere have focused, instead, on the most moronic and juvenile material yet offered up as "reporting".

ABC News can't find stuff fast enough to support the tired, hollow presidential campaign of John Sydney McCain. ABC News, as we have seen recently in the anthrax letters story, does whatever it has to do in order to please establishment Republicans....even if that means spreading Bush lies and then swearing to them.....as they did in assisting America's rogue leader in leading Americans to believe, wrongly, that Iraq presented a threat to the U. S.

The new GOP Leader is Mr. McCain, and so ABC News is quick to spread McCain's silly and moronic lies, yukking it up as only empty-headed morons can.....

The John McCain campaign, the Republican Party and the main media lackeys who serve them both, sensing the tremors of a possible Barack Obama avalanche win in November, have begun playing the political game of "risk". Obama, to hear his critics, is simply too risky to be elected president.
